21.1GB space used after IOs5 upgrade on iphone 3gs

Hi,
i just Upgraded to IOs5 on my 3GS and there is 21.1GB of space used for other.  does that seem right?  Is there a way to figure out what is using that much space and reduce the usage?
Cheers

There are still battery issues with iOS 5 and another update is forthcoming. In the meantime do you have an Exchange mail account on your iPhone?
Your charging problem is almost certainly related to the water damage on your iPhone. You can do an out-of-warranty replacement for $149.

  • Why can't I send emails after iOS5 upgrade of iPhone 3GS?

    Having upgraded to iOS5, my iPhone 3GS will receive but will no longer send emails.  The error message says that it cannot send mail because the recipient [named] was rejected by the server.  This happens whether I am trying to reply to an incoming message or create one afresh.  Help please.

    If anyone picks up this question, I later found the answer at https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3400398?start=0&tstart=0 - a thread I failed to find when I first searched.

  • After last upgrade, my iphone 3GS has a yellow screen and won't come on.

    Hi
    I really need help... I have recently upgraded my iPhone 3GS to 4.2.1 and there was a flash of white screen, followed by a yellow screen with lines across it. iTunes shows a error message and the phone is now dead. It won't go on. It does go into the DFU mode but thats all about it. Please help as I urgently and desperately need my phone on ....
    Thank you in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried that and it didn't work because the screen was completely frozen. I broke down and took the thing to the Apple Store and they discovered there was a loose wire in it that had to be reconnected. This is the second phone which has failed because of "workmanship. "The microphone went bad on the first phone and now this issue. Both phones may have had 2 hours on them and as a new comer to the iphone, I am not impressed. I paid cash for the phone and no insurance. I assumed it would have lasted several years like my other phone of which brand name I won't mention. The phone was great when it worked but when it doesn't it is very frustrating when the touch pad is frozen.  
    I understand, you can mark this answer as "This solved my question" so that more people can see it if they have the same problem.

  • How to recover contacts/notes after ios6 upgrade on iphone 3gs?

    I still have the backup folder in my PC but itunes is not recovering it in my phone...
    Initially what I did was backup the phone and then cut that folder and move it into another drive (as I needed almost 10gbp just to do the upgrade in the software!).
    Once the upgrade was done I moved the backup folder (which is about 6gbp) into the same folder in Appdata: Apple itunes: mobile data folder.
    I tried doing Recover from backup folder in my PC through itunes but it will not recover anything! No contacts, notes or anything!!
    Please help. Does it have anything to do with icloud or anything else?
    Thanks
    PD. Just so you know the upgrade was prompted by the Whatsapp ceasing to function on 26 Dec 12 (just like other users as I have been reading in the forums).

    i have the same problem anyone help me out to get my contacts back it irritating!!!!!!

  • Can't make calls or sms on iphone 3gs after iOs5 upgrade?

    I upgraded to iOS5 on my iphone 3gs and I am having major problems connecting to the 3g network. I can't make or recieve calls or sms, or log on to the internet over the 3g network. wifi works fine, but that doesn't help with the calls or the sms, and i can't always be on wifi for my emails. the phone worked fine before the upgrade.
    i've restored the entire phone as a new phone, i've gone in to the apple store and had my phone looked at, they say there's nothing wrong with the hardware.
    i live in Canada and my carrier is Rogers - of course when I call them for help they say it must be the phone not their network. they'd rather i buy a new phone and sign another 3 year contract
    the only thing that seems to help is restoring network settings. immediately after doing that I can make calls, send and receive sms, and use the internet over 3g. but it only fixes it temporarily... after about 15 mins I'm back to the same problem. can't make or receive call etc.
    anyone else having this same problem?
    anyone know of a solution?

    After 2 hours with Apple Support, which was great, we figured out the issue. 1-800-my-iphone. When I upgraded to iOS5 and started using the iCloud, I was unaware that my previous synching settings were still set to Yahoo.com where I had been sycning wirelessly in the past. So the Apple support tech showed me that I had multiple accounts in both Notes and Contacts. I had iPhone, iCloud, yahoo, Outlook accounts and my default settings on the iphone should have all been set to icloud. Syching was occuring, but not in icloud. It took a little manual conversion of some Notes and Contacts into the icloud folders in Outlook, but now everything works and I only display and use the iCloud accounts in Notes and Contacts. Apple realizes that this is an issue for those of us that were previously using Yahoo and equivalents for wireless synching and they provded my support free. Usually they charge $27. All is well.

  • Recently i upgrade my iphone 3gs to IOS5. currently , after a week my iphone keep on crashing

    recently i upgraded my iphone 3gs to IOS5. currently , after a week my iphone keep on crashing and restarting.
    Please help me.

    I have a iPhone 3GS and installed iOS5.  Since then, my phone crashes 2-3 times a day, it has a hard time find the cell networks (no 3G and says no network often), and eats up a fully charged battery overnight searching for connections.  Fixing my phone is now my number one use of my free time!  AT&T store says I should just upgrade my phone.  This a software issue!  I upgraded to iOS5.01 and it seems to be no different. 
    My wife had similar issues with her iPhone3G and iOS4.  We made 3 trips to the Apple Store to do a deep recovery to bring it back to life.  They told us it was a hardware issue and we needed to buy a new phone.  iOS4.1 fixed all the problems and the phone worked great.
    I guess I am in for the same ride And will hope iOS5.1 fixes my issues.  Apple PLEASE HELP!!!!!

  • Ipad1 is extremely, painfully slow after ios5 upgrade. Is there a fix?

    Is there any fix for the awfully slow performance of iPad1 after ios5 upgrade? Mine is sometimes so slow it's impossible to use. Thanks

    Mine is slower, but it's still useable. There is a update for battery draining due in a few weeks, though I don't know whether it will contain other fixes as well : http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-15570462
    You could try closing all apps completely and then do a reset and see if that helps. To close all apps : from the home screen (i.e.not with any app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of each app to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    To reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I've also seen a couple of posts recommending turning off iCloud (which I haven't tried yet).

  • Cannot restore from back-up after iOS5 upgrade

    First try to restore after upgrade (original uppgrade process) iTunes said last available backup was time-stamped 11.34 but when chosen it was not accessible due to error 32 Backup missing.
    Trying to reset the unit to gain access to older backups iTunes claims my password for the backup is incorrect even though I know it's correct, thus I cannot resore after iOS5 upgrade.
    Looking in the folder (win XP machine) where the back-ups are stored it seems like there are no older backup available and my whole pic and vid library is gone! 2.5 yrs of images of my children!!!
    What to do?

    Sounds similar to my issue, I know my password is correct, even changed password in hopes that perhaps I was making a mistake, yet I wasn't. I backed up all my pix on an alternate computer, but my issue was that I used the voice memo recorder to record songs on the fly when I'm not at home, or just too lazy to hook up my studio gear. . . All that was backed up. . . yet, I'm told I'm entering the wrong password, I know it's not, but I guess I don't know how to type. . . I haven't searched for backup files in any location, other than looking to see if my pix were backing up as it quit syncing pix a couple months ago. No pix were backed up, so I plugged into a different computer, and that pc took em just fine.

  • Apps won't work after iOS5 upgrade

    After iOS5 upgrade, I cant start any apps but Apples own on my iPhone 4. What should I do?

    Make sure you're signed into iTunes with your original Apple ID (the one that you used to purchase the apps)
    Then Sync (and make sure 'Sync Apps' is checked)
    Cheers!

  • Is there a patch planned for the increase in battery use after I upgraded yesterday?

    Is there a patch planned for the increase in battery use after I upgraded yesterday?  I've closed all the open apps, I'm not using wifi and my battery is going down really quickly. 

    Restore the phone as NEW.  There's no patch needed.

  • Performance slowdown after iOS5 upgrade

    Did anyone assess performance slowdown on iPad after iOS5 upgrading?
    ...especially refering to the panel responsiveness within Safari!... any troubleshooting feasible? Thank you!

    My iPad 2 feels snappier overall - there are a couple apps that haven't been updated for iOS 5 that exhibit problems though. My wife's iPad 1 seems about the same or a bit faster depending on what she's doing - and of course has the same issues with some apps that need upgrading.
    So far the only downside I can see to upgrading is that I've taken a small hit on the battery due to the improved notifications mostly, I think. By small I mean at the very end of the day when I connect it to my alarm dock, it has just over 20% instead of the more usual 25-30% charge left

  • After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting new glasses!! Also the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before. Any ideas?

    After ios5 upgrade can no longer increase font size on iPad or iPhone, any suggestions apart from getting a new pair of glasses! Also, the backlight on the iPad isn't as bright as before the upgrade, any ideas?

    Hi Zak, thanks for the reply.
    The filename is whatever is set to be the background fill of the site (I presume the desktop background fill, if mobile versions are set to be different). I've tried a number of different files, sizes and types/formats and the result is still the same, so as far as I can tell it's not the file itself causing the issue...
    It uploads all pages (desktop, tablet and phone versions), .css files and .html files, and even the favicon .ico file but then hangs on the first image file, which incidentally is the background fill image.
    The total number of files is said to be 154. It gets stuck on file number 24.
    Yes the "Resume" dialog appears and upon clicking it just attempts to continue from the hang at the first image file (apparently 66% of the way through).
    Re: the "BC site has changed" part - I thought as much but figured worth reporting.
    ... Incidentally, as I've written this reply, I left the "Resume" dialog open (ie neither clicking "resume" or "cancel" and just as I've finished typing it appears to have published the site successfully?!! (I must've left it for roughly 5 minutes)
    Bizarre behaviour... I'm not sure if this will repeat itself with other sites but I'm sure there's a bug here that needs looking at regardless...?!
    Any thoughts?

  • Ipad2 wakes up to a blank screen after iOS5 upgrade

    I have noticed two  peculiar issues after iOS5 upgrade. My ipad2 screen awakens to a blank black screen after password input; this only happens when an app or a program was open when it locks. I have to close and reopen the cover and reenter password to get to the usual screen. 
    Additionally I have noticed the icons for several of my iapps become invisible, the name of the icon is visible and the app/program opens up if I click on the name
    any suggestions?
    thx

    I had a similar thing on an old MacBook Pro where if I closed the lid, then reopened it before the sleep cycle took over, it would have a blank screen. I had to close the lid until the power light pulsed, then it would wake normally.
    Any similarities?

  • Missing album artwork after iOS5 upgrade!!

    After I upgraded my iPhone, everything went smoothly, all my apps where there, text messages, emails etc. Even all my music was there but I noticed that random album artworks were missing. I connected it iTunes and clicked "sync" and it showed at the top that it was syncing a numerous amount of album artworks to my phone, so I thought it fixed the problem but I check my phone and it didn't. The weird thing is that all the album artworks show in my iTunes library and playlists but not on my phone!! I tried restarting my phone and manually clicking "get album artwork" in iTunes, nothing has worked. Furthermore, these artworks aren't custom or added by me, I purchased all on iTunes, so I know that isn't the problem. I really don't want to resort to restoring my phone due to having to reoragnize everything on it, but if I have to, I will. PLEASE HELP ME!! Thanks.

    If the artwork is OK on your computer you may be able to solve your problem by removing all your music and then resync it back to your iPad.
